The Prince William County Human Rights Commission Assessment has two parts. PART ONE asks general questions about your complaint to help you decide if the PWC Human Rights Commission is the correct agency to assist you.
After answering the questions in PART ONE, you may be asked if you would like to continue with PART TWO. The second part is an Intake Questionnaire with more specific questions about your situation.
Completing part one of the PW HRC assessment system is NOT the same as filing a charge.
If you want the PWC Human Rights Commission to look into your complaint or if you want to sue in court, you need to file a charge of discrimination. In order to do this, you must continue to PART TWO, to complete and submit your online application
to begin the process of filing a charge. Certain time limits apply (see below). You can obtain more information about filing a charge by visiting our websiteor
by contacting our office via email at pwhrc@pwcgov.org. You may also contact our office by telephone at 703-792-4680.
The anti-discrimination laws give you a limited amount of time to file charges of discrimination. In general, you need to file an employment charge of discrimination within 300 days from the day the discrimination took place. The deadline to file all other complaints of discrimination (housing, credit, public accommodation, and education) is within 365 days from the day the discrimination took place.
